1968 Topps 3-D partial set heading to eBay

bobsbbcards · October 21, 2005 4:01AM

Hi,

I thought I'd give youse guys a heads up on some cards that will be on eBay in the near future. That way you can collect pop bottles and save your lunch money in order to fund your purchase. Bidding will start at $0.99 each, free shipping, no reserve, and I don't end auctions early. PayPal gladly accepted (along with S&H trading stamps for you old timers). Good luck if any of you decide to bid!

That is some nice stuff there that rarely comes up for sale, those should do very well on ebay. Would like to own one, just for rarity sakes. Why selling though, if you don't mind answering?

Stingray,

These are doubles.

No Tony Perez coming?

bobsbbcards · October 21, 2005 8:11AM

Unfortunately (or fortunately for someone), Señor Perez has been sold to a friend.

I see that there is a Davis PSA 10 that is for sale on Ebay. Has a BIN of $2,400. Good/bad????

I don't want to make a comment on another seller's pricing behavior....oh, what the hell. It's about two times too high.

Do you take kidneys?

jont · October 21, 2005 6:49PM

Man, what a KICK seeing the scans of those cards!

Only A negative, CMV positive kidneys. Got a couple you can spare?

67standup · October 23, 2005 4:05AM

When will they list?

bobsbbcards · October 23, 2005 7:49AM

Start of auction will be 11/3 if ten day and 11/6 if seven day.

Griffins · October 23, 2005 9:23AM

I think a lung would be worth more to Bob than a kidney these days.

bobsbbcards · October 23, 2005 11:22AM

<< I think a lung would be worth more to Bob than a kidney these days. >>

No truer words have ever been spoken. If I could borrow someone's lung for even two hours, they could have their pick of the lot.....scuse me for a second.....

HACK, HACK, COUGH, COUGH, CHOKE, GASP....

Sorry, I coughed up a lugie on this thread and it is now quarantined.

Dhjacks · October 23, 2005 3:24PM

LOL!

Do the surface of these have a tendency to crack like the Kelloggs cards? Thanks for the scans....beautiful cards, I really like the Flood.

bobsbbcards · October 23, 2005 8:33PM

<< Do the surface of these have a tendency to crack like the Kelloggs cards? >>

They can crack, but not as easily as the Kellogg's cards. Kellogg's cards usually crack trying to get the natural curl back out of them. The 3-Ds are wider than most of the Kellogg's issues (almost as wide as a regular issue Topps card), and I haven't seen them curl. I would guess they're still pretty fragile and if you twisted one or bent it backwards even slightly, you'd crack the plastic coating pretty fast.

My advice. Don't do that.

bobsbbcards · October 24, 2005 6:19AM

Auctions are schedule to go off one every 15 minutes starting Sunday, October 30th at 6:45 PST and running for seven days. Those of you who are math whizzes will be able to compute when each of the auctions will end. The rest of you should just bid immediately and hope for the best.

bishop · October 24, 2005 7:37AM

Now, if I could only remember whether to spring forward or fall back ...

I guess this one got twisted a little bit.

That Swoboda brings tears to my eyes. Ouch!

It's still a rare card in any condition.

alnavman · October 25, 2005 10:00AM

Thanks Michael, I was too lazy to search!

Wow, the Clemente is being bid up very aggressively. I wonder what the snipes will bring.

bobsbbcards · October 31, 2005 9:29AM

One million dollars?

WinPitcher · November 1, 2005 5:55AM

Very nice indeed! Good luck too!

WOW, that is an aweful lot of food stamps!

bobsbbcards · November 5, 2005 9:49PM

Auctions ending tonight. Good luck!

1954 · November 7, 2005 12:09AM

Not bad prices for the Flood and Clemente. I guarantee snipes never went off due to the ending prices of these. Bob, you must be pretty pleased with the results?

Shane

mikeschmidt · November 7, 2005 12:38AM

Although auctions houses often can do "better" with many examples - it seems like Bob did wonderful on these examples. In an auciton house - buyers, there would have been thousands potentially left on the table between buyer's and consignment fees [although a negotiated rate I am sure could have been accomplished]. It seems like Ebay was a huge win-win for Bob and the buyers.

That link does not get me to the 3-d's. What am I missing?

Never mind!

Yep. I'm in a state of shock-and-awe. With 30 minutes left in the auctions, the total was stuck at about $11,500. When they ended, the total was at $32,000.

Sniper's rule......

1954 · November 7, 2005 6:05AM

Bob-
They rule but they sure can give a fat man heart trouble the last minute of the auction.

It looks like you got Andrew G and Andrew C into a war on a few of those.

My Flood psa 5 and Lonborg psa 4 look better to me every day
